Chapter 29 29. The living Protz family
Su Hong and Li Jian were surrounded on the escalator. From time to time, a spider would enter the platform by mistake. After discovering the two of them, it screamed and rushed over.
The Death Apostle's arms were like two long knives, stabbing downwards and penetrating the climbing spider.
Because his attack radius was too wide, most spiders would have been penetrated and exploded before they could even climb up. Li Jian couldn't intervene at all, so he could only go back and organize the survivors to collect supplies.
"You defeated the Corrosive Spider, gained experience, and gained Disaster Potential 3."
"You defeated the Wrong Soul Spider, increased your experience, and gained Disaster Potential 3."
"..."
I have to say that the exclusive experience is refreshing, and it feels like killing monsters.
But spiders are not stupid either. After smelling the stink of dead spider pulp on the stairs, most of them took a detour.
In the next hour, Su Hong only dealt with a few spiders.
"It is found that the disaster item corrodes the vesicle. Should it be refined?"
A spider exploded and white vesicles rolled out, but Su Hong caught it in time.
While everyone's attention was elsewhere, he silently said yes.
The crucible swayed and appeared, the green soup swayed and swallowed up the white vesicles, emitting white smoke.
A strange force merged into Su Hong's body, and he once again gained the gift of Corrosive Heart.
"Do you need to replace someone?" Li Jian came over at this time.
Su Hong shook his head, "No need, the target of these spiders is not here, the pressure is not great."
"Speaking of which, what are your plans after the spider tide recedes?"
Li Jian leaned on the glass guardrail and thought thoughtfully: "The successors have built a disaster shelter outside the city. Maybe we can go there to escape."
Su Hong smiled slightly, "You are talking about the shelter on the outskirts of Qinghai District. I advise you to give up. There is no way we can get there."
Li Jian was slightly surprised. The undead man of unknown origin in front of him actually knew the location of the disaster shelter. Could it be that someone had leaked the news.
The man's thoughts were confused, but he quickly concealed the strange look on his face. He said calmly: "It seems that your Excellency knows our living Protz family very well."
The living Protz family?
As expected, the information was extracted. Su Hong's heart fluctuated, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. "It's hard to say we understand it. In fact, we don't know the specific location of the shelter very well."
The current Prots family seems to have an inseparable relationship with the Prots family that guarded the prison city in ancient disaster history.
He felt like he was getting closer to the truth.
Hearing Su Hong's words, Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "The disaster shelter is indeed located on the outskirts of Qinghai District, within the Shenyun Mountain tourist area. This is not a secret among the successor group."
"Shenyun Mountain tourist attraction is not far away. We can reach it within ten days. Why does Mr. Su Hong think we can't reach the disaster shelter?"
Su Hong stabbed a spider that was trying to climb up, "If you see these spiders, they will retreat temporarily and then attack again."
"Zhou Hong will not let us go easily. If we are attacked by him and the spider tide, are you sure we can survive this crisis?"
Li Jian was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He really had not thought about this problem.
Su Hong continued: "If we don't solve the spider nest, we will be trapped here forever."
"Only when you brave the rapids can you glimpse a faint glimmer of life."
What Su Hong said did make sense, but what made Li Jian even more curious was the power behind Su Hong, who actually had so much information that they didn't know.
"Where are you from?" Li Jian asked tentatively.
Su Hong's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He knew that his prey had gradually taken the bait, but he was not in a hurry to stop. "We have inherited the ancient flames and will pass this on."
"Someone once called us the Fire Bearers." His words didn't seem to answer the question, but they revealed a lot of information.
Although Li Jian had never heard of the name of the Fire Bearer, he seemed to have heard the elders of the family mention people who chased the flames.
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Su Hong smiled slightly, and Li Jian automatically started to help him figure it out without him having to speak.
This is the benefit of information asymmetry. Li Jian has already recognized the existence of the Fire Messenger's power in his heart. Su Hong does not need to explain the rationality of the next step, he can figure it out by himself.
He felt a little relieved. No matter how he asked during the last simulation, Li Jian refused to speak, which made him extremely curious.
This time it was finally Li Jian's turn to try this taste.
The two of them were chatting at the top of the stairs, and Su Hong got a lot of information out of Li Jian.
In this world, the Protz family's sphere of influence radiates throughout Sheng City. Before the end of the world, they almost controlled the undead in the entire city. They were a behemoth hiding in the dark.
According to Li Jian, before the end of the world came, the traces of disaster had already been revealed, and many people became immortal by chance.
In order to manage and control these undead, they usually invite the newly born undead to travel to Shenyun Mountain tourist attractions by issuing free travel coupons.
This trick has been tried and tested. Except for a few undead people who are relatively nerdy, almost all undead people fell into the trap set by the living Protz family step by step, and then became a part of the undead family.
As for the meaning of successor, Li Jian still has not explained clearly, but the living Protz family is absolutely inseparable from the Protz family mentioned in the illustrated book.
Under Su Hong's persuasion, Li Jian agreed to go deep underground together to find the spider's nest.
The current Protz family has a profound background, and many powerful members are still active in Sheng City.
The end of the world came very suddenly, and they were trapped in Sheng City.
Like Li Jian, these undead people also face two choices, either to leave Shengshi and escape to the disaster shelter, or to attack the spider nest.
Even if most of the undead plan to evacuate the city, there will still be a small number of undead who have thoughts about the spider nest.
And the Templar Knights chasing the flames are also heading towards the city.
At this moment, the fire bearer, the ancient Templar Knights and the current Protz family reached a consensus in different time and space, and they will move towards a common goal.
This trip might not be too lonely.
After a night passed, the tide of spiders receded, and Su Hong also rose to disaster level 10, officially entering the first level of immortality.
He stood at the entrance of the stairs, his body shook violently, and the majestic power was like a tide, washing every corner of his body, and his strength reached a new level.
【Su Hong】
[Disaster level: present world]

Feeling the abundant power in his body, Su Hong relieved his mental fatigue and retracted his Death Apostle's arm.
"Let's set out early, the next wave of spiders will arrive at any time."
